The result of her analysis of this relation was published in a very well-received[3][4] monograph, Hegel's Critique of Kant: From Dichotomy to Identity.
Sedgwick argues that Hegel criticized Kant for his ambitions to give an account of human cognition in terms of necessary and non-historical categories.
She is now working on the details of Hegel's philosophy of history and its relation to his theory of knowledge and ethics.
[5] Sedgwick has been awarded various grants by the NEH, ACLS, DAAD, Fulbright, and the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation.
In 2009, Sedgwick was appointed the president of the Central Division of the American Philosophical Association.
